What travelers are saying

"Rick was really helpful and patient. He explained things clearly, was happy to answer questions. It is a long time since I last travelled solo but I felt confident that Rick understood what I wanted from the trip and reassured me."

What travelers are saying

"My husband and I booked the Yellowstone tour with Tauck expecting so much more with the accommodations, food, and tour director based on the price point. We were sadly disappointed but still tried to enjoy the experience. Rooms were dirty, food were often buffets and other group dinners with some food inedible. We noticed other tours staying in our hotels and paying much less for their tours. One positive was we never touched our luggage which was nice but my small suitcase was damaged during one transfer. Word to the wise… read their emails thoroughly as the email we received a few weeks before our trip reads like a disclaimer for poor service and accommodations."

What travelers are saying

"Visions of Japan was our first international trip ever, so we were nervous, but as it turns out, we had no reason to be - everything went so smoothly! Our guide was wonderful and knowledgeable, the driver was skilled, and the hotels were beautiful. All the stops were fun and amazing. It was a great 'get your feet wet' tour of Japan. I highly recommend it! You're in good hands with Globus."

Banff National Park Tour Selection Trips

  • Banff National Park is quite expansive, and tours will typically involve a lot of walking, from easy to moderate. Pack light and bring lots of water.
  • If you're a photographer, get ready for some spectacular photo opportunities! Especially early in the morning and dusk, you'll be in heaven.
  • Not all tours will involve high adventure. If that's not your thing, but you want to explore the park, there will be multiple tours you can enjoy that go at an easier pace.
  • As with any national park visit, keep up to date on the official wildlife watches (particularly to do with bears in the Rocky Mountains) and weather reports - there is an active avalanche watch on the official park website for Banff National Park
